Under what rational basis after this decision??????????????
What if a church refuses to perform or recognize gay marriges and the State or Federal gov't threatens to pull the tax exempt status?
It's not far fetched. Many Catholic hospitals are considering shutting their doors rather than being compelled to perform abortions.
Obviously, we will need legislation allowing a conscience clause for churches that disagree with homosexual marriage.
Sorry, but your outdated opinions of marriage don't matter. It's the court that decides. Is there a "constitutionally adequate" reason for preventing plural marriages and not gay marriages? What is it? (Not in your eyes, but in the court's eyes.)
You're right, it is, but in light of this ruling why should it be?
In light of this ruling, marriage must be redefined as a relationship between two or more entities. There is no logical reason to restrict it to persons, and no logical reason to restrict it to two. If we're throwing over thousands of years of historical definition by including homosexuals, which as far as I know has never been recognized, why not include plural marriages, which I know have been recognized?
